Now is not the time to think about these messes - Li Yu quickly straightened out his crooked thoughts and focused on the next step of the "Revitalization" main line.
Next step: Be inseparable with the tyrant.
Hint: None.
Just when he thought about not being clever anymore and conscientiously conquering the main line, Li Yu saw the task refresh: "..."
System, come out, I promise I can't kill you!
Li Yu can fool romance into drinking, but how can he be inseparable? They haven't even started a pure love relationship yet!
Besides, this main line should also be divided into several steps. If they are inseparable, what will he do in the future?
Li Yu's eyes twitched violently. He felt that it was not a good sign if things continued to develop like this. This "glue and paint"... let's wait for a while.
Li Yu exited the system in a hurry, as if his tail was on fire.
When he was in the system, the fish's body would lose consciousness for a short time. When Li Yu came back to his senses, he saw a magnified handsome face.
King Jing, who said he had something urgent to do, had returned and was holding a jade box to feed the fish.
Li Yu: "..."
He didn't feel it when they were kissing each other in the carriage just now, but when he suddenly saw the person he liked, the fish was a little shy!
When he was shy, his brain and fins froze together, and the fish's body sank.
King Jing quickly reached out to hold the fish.
Li Yu stared at him blankly, his heart like spring water ruffled by the wind, rippling with waves of joy. No wonder I always thought that this person was pleasing to the eye, it turns out that he likes him too!
... This feeling is liking.
Li Yu suddenly jumped up as if startled, swam around twice in place, and then dived into the rockery cave, with only the tip of his tail exposed. This speed was faster than when he ran away in anger.
Fortunately, the fish was covered with scales, otherwise it might be seen that the whole fish had turned red.
The fish hid in the rockery cave again. King Jing was a little worried, afraid that the fish was stuck again, or was making trouble with him again.
He tried to fiddle with the fish's tail, and then the fish's tail trembled violently and retracted completely.
King Jing: "..."
The rule that King Jing has figured out these days is that fish must be coaxed slowly and not rushed.
Recalling the kiss in the carriage, King Jing smiled softly.
Although Xiaoyu still couldn't finish her words in the end, King Jing was in a surprisingly good mood.
Li Yu hid in the cave, eavesdropping on the movements outside from time to time, and continued to think about his own plans. Before he realized it, he might have been tangled and wavering in this relationship, but once he realized that every young man who was just beginning to fall in love was a brave warrior, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were in the future, it was nothing to him at this moment.
The moment he realized that he liked the other person, he realized how deep this love was. Just the daily reunion and seeing this person again made him feel happy.
He likes her so much that he wants to have this relationship, even if the road is not easy. But if he is not allowed to give it a try and keep going, what will happen in the future?
A fish cannot just have a relationship. He can only be a human for one to two hours a day now. If he uses it to have a relationship, he probably won’t be shy enough.
So he has to become a human as soon as possible. Before that, he should not be too close to King Jing. Even if he likes her, he should keep a certain distance and never let King Jing find out his secret.
... Got it, he can make three rules with King Jing! According to his observation of King Jing in the past few days, King Jing will most likely not refuse his request!
Holding hands is fine, dating is fine, kissing... Anyway, they have kissed several times, so it should be fine.
Then... should it be indescribable?
Li Yu, who had peeked at the little yellow mosquito, felt itchy inside. He was also a very normal boy and would definitely have some expectations. In fact, he no longer rejected King Jing's closeness to him. It was all misunderstanding before, and he did not realize his feelings in time. Now, not only did he not reject this kind of thing, but he also had some secret feelings. Everyone was an adult, and this kind of thing should naturally come to fruition when the feelings are there.
Li Yu blushed and uncontrollably imagined that at a critical moment in a vigorous sport, he suddenly turned back into a fish during the fermentation process...
That picture must be too beautiful to look at directly, and he and King Jing might both be covered in blood.
In order to avoid such an accident, Li Yu temporarily crossed out the indescribable, thinking with regret that a man should still control his lower body. As long as he finishes the main line, he will not have to worry about it!
Li Yu was both excited and agitated. He turned and twisted on a small rock in the cave until his body was almost worn out by the rock, and then he fell asleep.
When he woke up, King Jing was gone. It turned out that King Jing received a summons from the emperor early in the morning. The emperor ordered King Jing to enter the palace to discuss important matters.
When King Jing returned last night, the fish was shy and did not leave the cave. When King Jing got up in the morning and received the emperor's oral order, the fish was sleeping soundly and did not notice it. King Jing touched the fish's tail that stretched out of the cave, and considerately went into the palace himself, for fear of waking up the fish.
Li Yu was quite sensible. He knew that meeting the emperor was important, but the original plot was messed up. Li Yu thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what the plot was. The third and sixth princes were both beaten and were keeping their tails between their legs. The emperor might be acting like a kind father and looking for King Jing to reminisce about the past. It was also possible that the investigation of the nursery rhyme and the fake monk had led to something, and the emperor wanted to compensate King Jing.
Li Yu felt that this trip to the palace was not a bad thing, and his heart gradually settled down.
He calculated the time when King Jing would come back, changed his body, placed the fish pillow in the crystal fish tank, chose a silver robe he liked very much, put it on, and tidied his collar.
The jade hairpin that King Jing gave him was still there. To wear the hairpin, one needs to comb the hair into a bun, but Li Yu was not very good at it. Eunuch Wang had followed King Jing into the palace again, so he was too embarrassed to ask for help from others, so he could only improvise. He found a silver hairband, tied a small ponytail, and then inserted the jade hairpin into it, revealing the round fish at the end of the hairpin.
Li Yu nodded at the bronze mirror, feeling that he was quite beautiful.
King Jing had not returned yet, so Li Yu sat at the table, spread out paper and pen, and wrote down everything he had thought of at night, while waiting for King Jing.
Qianqing Palace.
Li Yu was right. The emperor's guards in front of the emperor recently found out that the nursery rhyme that framed King Jing was first spread by the third prince's people. They also found many people who could testify, brought them to the emperor, and handed them over to the emperor for personal interrogation. After many days, the emperor was once again irritated by the third prince. At this time, Sun Simiao, the head of Qintianjian, came to report that Qintianjian had found out that officials had accepted bribes, and the one who bribed the officials was also the third prince Mu Tianming!
The emperor then realized why the third prince had questioned Qintianjian for no reason that day. Was he trying to create an opportunity for the people he bribed?
The third prince intended to frame King Jing with nursery rhymes and fake monks, and even extended his hand to the Qintianjian, which was simply a violation of the emperor's taboos. The emperor wanted to find an appropriate opportunity to punish the third prince again, but at this time the third prince bumped into him again and did something stupid.
It turned out that the injuries of the third prince from being beaten with a stick had improved a lot in recent days. He began to be watched by the eunuchs to report to the study every day and study with the little princes. The third prince was very unhappy. The emperor said nicely that he wanted him to study hard, but he was not a child anymore. In the royal family, adult princes should share the emperor's worries and do errands, but he could only study. If the emperor didn't say anything, how long would he have to study? Isn't this a disguised way of making him never enter the court?
The second prince made a mistake and was confined to his house until his mind was no longer clear. However, the emperor did not even release him, and never mentioned the second prince again.
The third prince was afraid and regretted it very much. He went to the sixth prince for help. The sixth prince, who was also beaten and was recovering from his injuries, asked him to stay at home. However, the third prince was unwilling to waste time. His biological mother, Concubine Zhang, often contacted several ministers' wives who supported him. Through this relationship, Mu Tianming asked the ministers to intercede for him in the court so that he could be reinstated. He did not expect to have any good and glorious job, as long as he could show his face in front of the emperor and not let the emperor forget him.
After discussing, the ministers drafted a memorial, saying that the third prince knew his mistakes, sincerely repented, and was willing to share the emperor's worries. They also specially invited a Hanlin Academy with excellent writing skills to write about the third prince's recent situation in an extremely pitiful way, and the father-son relationship between him and the emperor in a tear-jerking way.
The ministers did not know whether the emperor was moved after receiving the memorial, but the emperor was angered by the joint submission of the memorial by several ministers. He had just found out that the third prince bribed the officials of Qintianjian. At this time, many people in the court pleaded for the third prince. The emperor was particularly wary of the prince's close personal relationship with the ministers. The third prince didn't even get close to the position of crown prince, but he wanted to put pressure on the king?
He just asked the Third Prince to read more books to temper his impetuous temper. Could it be that the Third Prince could not even understand this, let alone reflect on himself?
The emperor wrote down the names of the ministers who signed the petition. The Third Prince waited and waited but did not receive the emperor's pardon. The emperor not only asked him to study with the Seventh and Eighth Princes, but also asked him to copy the Filial Piety Classic every day and submit it to the Grand Scholar for inspection.
The Third Prince lost all face. The officials who were noticed by the emperor were later transferred or demoted by the emperor. It took the Third Prince a long time to realize that he had made a mistake again. When he turned back to the Sixth Prince as his military advisor, the Sixth Prince was also helpless.
Everything is easy to lose but hard to gain. I told you to lie low but you refused to listen. Who told you to continue to do stupid things?
The emperor was upset with the third prince, and thought that none of his capable sons had put their minds on the right path, and the two younger sons were too young to see anything for the time being. Although the guards in front of him had confirmed that the sixth prince was working for the third prince, the emperor hated the third prince, and the sixth prince should be able to change his mind if he was given some pressure, but he was asked to train the sixth prince instead, and the emperor couldn't swallow this breath for some reason.
The emperor inevitably thought of his other son, Prince Jing. Thinking about Prince Jing's name and the few games of chess he had played with him, he knew that Prince Jing was very talented, but because of his congenital muteness and in order to protect Prince Jing, he never let Prince Jing be important.
But who knows his painstaking efforts? The second and third princes are still short-sighted. They attacked King Jing and the people around him. They probably thought that King Jing, who was not valued by him, could be bullied.
These people did not care about his face, and he did not want to consider their feelings. If King Jing wanted to gain a foothold in front of the new emperor in the future, he did not necessarily have to rely on the mercy of the new emperor, but he could also make King Jing stand up. Anyway,
for the emperor, the selection of the crown prince was not urgent. After the dirty things done by the third prince, he should appease King Jing.
The emperor summoned King Jing to the palace, scolded King Jing for a long time, and finally ordered King Jing to work in the Ministry of Works.
Just as he was about to fly back to the palace, Prince Jing was suddenly hit by a pie: "..."
The emperor said confidently: "A lot of things have happened in the court recently, and each of them makes me worry. Tianchi, why don't you come to help me? I remember Tianzhao and Tianming started to govern at the age of twelve. It's too late for you now."
It's just hard labor, Prince Jing nodded with a wooden face.
The emperor felt that Prince Jing didn't seem very happy. Is there any prince who is not willing to work for him?
But Prince Jing is just like this. He is not surprised by favors and humiliations. If Prince Jing is like the second and third princes, the emperor thought about it and estimated that it would be almost a disaster.
The emperor thought to himself, fortunately he still has a capable son, but -
but no matter how capable this son is, it is not a blessing for him.
I remember that soon after King Jing was born, he was diagnosed with muteness by the imperial physician and would be unable to speak for the rest of his life. The imperial physician told him some heartfelt words.
People born dumb would most likely pass on to their descendants.
So no matter how capable King Jing was, he could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of ruling the country for him. He could not choose King Jing and become a sinner of the royal family.
After he succeeded to the throne, he always valued the legitimate son and looked forward to the birth of the legitimate son. However, the three legitimate princes born to Empress Xiaohui all suffered many disasters. Perhaps he would not have such a fate... The emperor was disappointed. King
Jing received the errand, said goodbye to the emperor, and returned to the palace.
This errand should be a compensation from the emperor. King Jing knew it very well in his heart, and he did not feel extra happy.
But when he opened the door and saw Xiaoyu with a strange bag on his head, King Jing couldn't help but raise his lips.
"Look, Your Highness!"
Li Yu proudly pointed to the hairpin on his head.
King Jing had seen it a long time ago. Hairpins are mostly tokens of love. Xiaoyu put on his hairpin herself, which means... she is willing to be in love with him. King
Jing stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Your Highness, there's more!"
Li Yu waved at him while sitting on the bed.
King Jing recalled the gentleness that almost drowned him in the carriage yesterday, and his ears turned slightly red.
Xiaoyu sat on the bed and called him, in broad daylight. Is she going to start making money now?
... As long as Xiaoyu wants, there is nothing he can't do.
King Jing sat over.
